D: Drawing

One of our activities at the Happy Creators Collective is daily drawing prompts (optional, but well supported!).

For this week's drawing inspiration, I would like to share the daily drawings lineup from the Collective by Michelle Esquierdo.

How good are these!!! 🤩

Michelle enjoyed the process, and made solid progress on refining her style. Yesssss!

This is what she said:

"This is the most I’ve ever drawn in a month! I enjoyed it! It’s helpful when you’re trying to build up your skills, and find your style. Overall, I’m proud of myself. 😊"

If you want to surround yourself with friends like Michelle 🥰 and "draw more than you've ever drawn in a month", I invite you to join us at the Collective!

R: Resource

A friend gave me a treasured gift.

A travel size book, called "The Grammar of Ornament".

I have a dream... to one day travel to the locations documented in the book, and SEE those ornaments in person. And to create beautiful art inspired by then.

I also have a dream of writing the "Slavic Ornaments" version of this book! 😄

I got the pocket version (for my backpack! 😆), but here is the full unabridged version.

A: Affirmation

This week, I am having to do a lot of "adulting"... BIG decisions, big responsibilities 😅. And a lot of unknowns.

My brain is having a hard time letting go of things that I can't even do anything about until Monday 😆.

The thoughts keep coming up, "But what will do about this? Why haven't we done anything yet?"

Exhausting, haha.

So as I was setting up my day this morning, I decided that I am going to ENJOY it. And not waste my energy on mental chatter about things I can't control.

So here is this week's affirmation:

I have everything I need to be happy today.

W: Wonder

Here is this week's question to wonder about, inspired by the wisdom of James Clear:

Instead of asking "What is my current position?", ask "What is my current trajectory?"

Are my current actions moving me towards my goal?

If yes, then my current position on that journey is no so important.

What's important is to keep showing up with aligned action.

I hope you have a comfy week ahead, and feel inspired to create!

Warm regards,
Tatyana
